Since June 2008, under orders from Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials and under the pretext of ensuring the "safety" of the Beijing Olympic Games, many more Falun Gong practitioners have been persecuted. Directed by Wang Hong'en from the Baoding National Security Team, the National Security Team of Gaobeidian Police Department and Zhao Kejun, Zhao Jun, and Zhang Sijun, who are 610 Office1 staff members, police stations were ordered to arrest more than 20 Falun Gong practitioners and ransack their homes. More than ten practitioners are currently detained in a detention centre, and several practitioners were forced to become homeless to avoid further persecution.

On June 17th, Xiao Xiuying from YanJiawu Village; Li Conglan, also from YanJiawu Village; Liu Binglan, who opened a local tailoring store; Du Jifeng; and Liu Sumei, an environment protection employee, were arrested. Ms. Liu Yunfeng, who stayed at her daughter's home, was harassed and the home was ransacked.

On June 24th, Xue Lin (Sizhuang Donghuang), Yu Guanghai (Sizhuang), Gu Guifen, Li Zhanchao, and Wang Jibin (Gong Xinzhuang) were arrested.

On June 25th, Hu Zhenchun from Yang Mansa Village, Cao Chunhua from Fang Jiawu Village, and Zhang Yuqin (Gong Jiazhuang) were arrested. Tian Hongmei was harassed on the same day.

On June 26th, Liu Fengying (Gong Xinzhuang), Guo Lianhua, Zhou Yuqing, Liu Xiangfen from Yang Mansa Village, Yang Liping from Yang Mansa Village, and Zong Shuqin from Yang Mansa Village were arrested.
